The playset consisted of two forms. When closed down, it resembled a rocket ship, within which the Austin doll could be placed, his head visible through a window. When opened, the rocketship transforms into a bionic repair facility, with tubes that could be plugged into the bionic modules contained within the Austin doll. Among the features of the repair station were several glow-in-the-dark dials that simulated X-ray images of Austin (and, to a degree, some of the images from the opening sequence of the TV show).

The TV commercials for this set did a bit of retconning on the origin of Steve Austin, suggesting that his injuries were the result of the rocket ship crashing.
